This relatively smple guide is aimed to help out people who are new to the Total War series and are starting with the oldest Total War game available on Steam.
This is the first gaming guide I have attempted to made, so it's understandably far from perf...

The West is fractured: Usurpation and court machinations, rampant corruption, and the battered infrastructure that never truly recovered from the Crisis of the Third Century all contribute to the sorry state of Augustus' legacy. The military has lost much...

This vintage masterpiece was where I first learnt to appreciate to the beauty of thousands of dead soldiers lying across a field and where I learnt that urban management is letting a city revolt and then massacring the excess population.

But be warned! You will get a F if starts an history essay with “All the Roman Republic was divided into four parts…” or “The ancient Greek city-states were one country, contrary to what you said earlier today in class…”

I had Rome Total War long before Steam, but was so disenchanted with Rome 2, I picked it up on sale. At the time of it's release, it was revolutionary. Now, many years later, it is still a worthy addition to any library of turn-based and real time strategy.

This Total War Rome has a great real time battle engine. You can easily control any and all units and fight every battle on your terms. Crashing into an infanty until from behind with calvary remains fun to watch over a decade later. I won the short campaign on hard for both map and battles...but it wasn't difficult for a verteran of Total War games.

The music is perfect, from the calm background of the world map to the adrenaline pumping battle music. The introductory movie/music still makes me smile, capturing some of the feeling of Total Awe I felt at the time of its release.

Like a lot of people I think, I've already played this game before I played it on steam, maybe something like a 100 hours

In a first part, the game

This is a Total War....The statragic part in Rome is that without cavalry, you're ♥♥♥♥ed ;DThis is one of the main this to follow in the game : make your cavalry move and BUILD A WALL with your infantryBecause the game is in the antiquity, you can find elephant, chariots and phalanx... very immersive thingsThe mercenary system is better in Rome than in Medieval II because the mercenaries cost REALLY less money and are really more useful

The Mods

-I didn't test the barbarian invasions mod- I saw there were mod but I never played on ...(There are mods like LOTR)

The community

Rome: Total War dosn't have a big community, something like 1500 players permanently and people are not jumping on online battles.The campaigns is better -_-

The end's word

3$ is the price of a candy pack but it's also the price if R:TW when there are sales: You'll eat your candy in 3 minutes or you'll play tens of hours on a CLASSIC make your choice.... :D

This may be a dumb question but it's been a long time(approx.7-8yrs) since I played RTW.
